"Catacombs of the Heart explores the loveliest and the most dreadful corners of existence. Its bittersweet accounts will break your heart, inspire you to see beauty in the mundane, and even, at times, make you laugh out loud. A gorgeous and powerful collection through and through."-Zara Lisbon, author of Fake Plastic Girl"Cailler's voice is unmistakable as he keenly observes his world, both inside and out. In poems that view the ordinary as extraordinary, Catacombs of the Heart is a collection that weaves together the emotions of our fragile and beautiful human coexistence." -Kali White VanBaale, author of The Monsters We Make and The Good Divide"In this poetry collection, the catacombs of the title are a fascinating repository of the 'things' that comprise a life. These catacombs are a magical mystery tour swerving along Southern California's freeways whereby the speaker encounters "a tango of perfume and Bay Rum cologne," "kisses that taste like Friday," or a homeless man explaining he imagines an assassination, while watching Bye-Bye Birdie, wouldn't be so bad. To one crucial line, 'maybe my brain isn't a series of nerves and pink-gooey folds, but a map, a globe, ' a reader can only nod in recognition. These poems with their stunning, surprising details, are bright, shining, revelatory globes." -Sue William Silverman, author of If the Girl Never Learns"A deeply moving portrayal of the complexities of the human heart. We all carry our own catacombs and Cailler's sharp, but balanced command of language makes his poems accessible and relatable.
